Thank you so much, Shell, for your kind words! It means a lot to me that the piece resonated with you. Sharing my voice and perspective felt like a significant step, and knowing it connected with you makes it even more special.
Lise, your comment belongs within the very fabric of the Märchen itself—a spark of hope burning through the darker threads.
Indeed, imagination is the birthplace of every new story, and agency is the hand that weaves it into reality.
These times may be tumultuous, but they are also ripe for transformation.
May that fire inside you light the way for others, reminding us all of the power we hold to co-create a narrative that moves us beyond despair and into a future shaped by courage, creativity, and collective will.
Gloria, coming from someone whose poetry feels like pure magic, your words are an absolute gift. Thank you for seeing something enchanting in my writing—it means so much to me, especially knowing the beauty you create with yours.
I look at what is happening in Afghanistan . It beggars belief . Straight back to the Middle Ages …..and of course it’s the women who bear the brunt of the cruelty and oppression. It seems their leaders are truly terrified of the power of women voices , bodies , presence. What , I wonder , is their end game ? How on earth do they imagine their society will survive , let alone thrive , without women ? It’s like they are committing a brutal , collective suicide . My heart breaks for these women . I send them thoughts of love and the strength to keep on , keep fighting , to stay alive . Surely this insanity will end ? We can only hope 💔💔💔
What a lovely post. I found myself nodding along as I listened. And so super to hear your voice!
